The doctor smiled reassuringly. "We won't know that now. The only thing that we can check is if there is sign of miscarriage. Defects like the ones you mentioned are only noticeable in the second or third trimester."

"Okay," Song Qingchun answered. With her head lowered, she turned to pull the door open. Before she walked out, she turned back again to ask, "Doctor, can I ask your opinion regarding the abortion?"

"Abortion?" The doctor frowned. "Didn't you already decide to keep the child? Why would you ask about that?"

"Just in case."

The doctor scanned Song Qingchun twice before explaining it to her. "Under normal circumstances, the earlier the parents decides not to keep the baby, the better. If the abortion is delayed too long, the mother might suffer from health complications."
